ble. COUNTY DIVISION NEVER
Clackamas County must need look
to its laurels. Estacada and the east
ern end of the county are becoming
beligerent and want home 'County
rule, declaring that they are receiv
ing the short end of attention in ev
ery line from our county officials.
This is news to us, and it seems un
necessary for the county to divide
against itself. Clackamas County
now has between 30,000 and 40,000
inhabitants, enough only for a small
city and insufficient by a long way
to provide two county governments.
The expense does not end with the
cost of placing the matter before the
people of the state, but the County
records must necessarily be abstract
ed for that portion which may go in
to business for itself. The Enterprise
trusts that the Commercial Club of
Estacada and Oregon City can get to
gether and settle the matter for if
there is any favoritism shown, it
should be an easy matter to correct
it. Clackamas County is now known
to the world and Estcada's interests
are parallel with the County. "Uni
ted we stand Divided we fall." Get
together brothers.
The time to read the Morning En
terprise is at the breakfast table or
a little before.

Somebody In

Is Making
a Colossal
Mistake

o
By GEORGE W. PERKINS,
Former Partner of
J. P. Morgan
t OMEBODY in this country
lAIvE. Somebody is WOFULLY WRONG.- Is it' the the
oretical POLITICIAN or the practical BUSINESS MAN
Did our federal government make a mistake in adopting
a policy of federal REGULATION WITH OUR BANKS AND
RAILROADS, or is it making a mistake in not adopting a similar
policy with our interstate industrials ?
Did it make a mistake in eliminating ruthless competition amon
the railroads, or is it making a mistake in enforcing ruthless .competi
tion among industrials ? Would it be a mistake to try to REGULATE
BEFORE WE STRANGLE? .
Our people are asking these questions, and they have got to be an
swered, not in theory, but in PRACTICE; not in form, but in SUB
IF ANYBODY
WANTS TO KNOW
BUSINESS, WHY
WE ARE NOT AS
BE, LET HIM CONSIDER WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND HE WILL NO
LONGER WONDER, BUT WILL BE AMAZED THAT SUCH COLOSSAL
BLUNDERING. COULD TAKE PLACE IN SUCH AN ENLIGHTENED
COUNTRY AS OURS.
A remedy which would bring1 immediate relief would be the CRE
ATION OF A BUSINESS COURT or controlling commission,
empowered to issue licenses to corporations and endowed with au
thority to inflict punishment by imprisonment upon all violators of
rules as laid down by this body. -

NEW METHOD OF FIGURES.
Irvin Hows of American League Will
Make His Systsm Public Next Fall.
When Irvin M. Howe, official statisti
cian of the American league, makes
public his figures next autumn he will
rank the fielders on a new basis, which
is 'intended to show more accurately
their worth. Heretofore it has been
customary to. bas.e the " efficiency of
an infielder upon the percentages of
chances he accepted. Howe believes a
better way is to ascertain the fielder's
average chances accepted per game.
That will demonstrate better how much
ground he covers.
It is a well known fact that the man
who covers little ground runs few
chances of making errors, for he goes
after only the easy balls. The fellow
who hustles and runs all over the field
is Much more likely to gum up ground
ers BIG ICE HOCKEY LEAGUE.
Will
Ba Formed Next Year if Present
Plans Mature.
There is a rumor in New York ice
hockey circles that an international
hockey league is to be formed next
year. The Wanderers and' Canadians
of Canada and teams in Boston and
Netv York, it is said, "will compose the
league.
The two Canadian teams at present
are members of the National Hockey
Association of Canada. If the ar
rangements go through, it is reported,
a schedule will be adopted. Accord
ing to the plan, the league will be com
posed of about eight clubs.
TRIANGULAR ROWING REGATTA
Princeton, Pennsylvania and Columbia
to Meet on Carnegie Lake,
Arrangements have been completed
for a triangular- regatta with Prince
ton, Pennsylvania and Columbia as the
participants, to be rowed Lake Car
negie, Princeton, May 18.
The 'course of the eight oared race
will be one and threerquarter miles in
length.
CHANGE GOLF TOURNEY DATES
Will Enable Champion Hilton to Com-
pete This Year.
Announcement has been made that
owing to the fact that the British ama
teurs could not arrange to play on the
date previously named, it had been de
cided to hold the United States Golf
association championship at the Chi
cago Golf club in Wheaton, 111., Sept
2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. It has also been de
cided to change the date of the na
tional open championship from June 27
and 28 to Aug. 1 and 2, to enable Amer
ican professionals to play in the Brit
ish championship.
By these changes in dates it will give
Hilton, the international champion, an
opportunity to compete in this country
this year. - -
Simultaneously it was agreed to
change the date of the Western Golf
association open championship in Chi
cago, set for Sept. 5 and 0, at the Idle
wild Country club, to some time during
August.

The cast is the identical organiza
tion which performed "Excuse Me'
during its engagement one year in
New York. It includes Willis Sweat-
nam, Ann Murdock, Charles Meakins,
and nearly two dozen others whose
names have become known through-
brilliant achievement.
San Francisco hailed "Excuse Me"
as the funniest farce that had reached
that city in many years, and in do
ing so, their reviewers endorsed the
verdict that it had previously been
passed upon the piece by the most
important critics of the east. The
amount of interest that has been man
ifest in its Portland engagement since
the initial anouncement of its coming
indicates the visit of "Excuse Me" as
one of the most hghly successful
events of the theatrical season.
